Bygones Quotes : pic 000859782
It was all as it had been,
except for the weight of the present,
that scuttled the pact we made with heaven.

listening to the hum of wires overhead.

Bygones Quotes : pic 001218990
Youth faces forward, impatient of the present, panting to anticipate the future. But we who have crossed a certain sad meridian, we turn our gaze backward,and tell the relentless gods what we would sacrifice to recover a little of the past...

The time is gone when mere accidents could still happen to me; and what could still come to me now that was not mine already? What returns, what finally comes home to me, is my own self and what of myself has long been in strange lands and scattered among all things and accidents.
Bygones Quotes : pic 000226999
Every reader should remember the diffidence of Socrates, and repair by his candour the injuries of time: he should impute the seeming defects of his author to some chasm of intelligence, and suppose that the sense which is now weak was once forcible

Happy days roll onward leading up to golden years.
Bygones Quotes : pic 000067310
But nothing else escapes all-ruinous time.

Or city and city; be it soon or late,
Sweet turns to bitter, hate once more to love.

The world turns, and life changes, the good old days are fantasies-just screened memories.
Bygones Quotes : pic 000731092
The past is a great darkness, and filled with echos. Voices may reach us from it; but what they say to us is imbued with the obscurity of the matrix out of which they come; and, try as we may, we cannot always decipher them precisely in the clearer light of our own day.

Bygones Quotes : pic 000593278

Time is the Mercy of Eternity
Bygones Quotes : pic 000110883
However, at 17 years old, I was ready to face any challenge and tackle any obstacles blocking the road to my dreams. I was ready to take on the world. I was unstoppable. Bygones were bygones. The future, however uncertain it might be, awaited me.
Bygones Quotes : pic 001375515
One of the peculiarities of recent speculation, especially in America, is that ideas are abandoned in virtue of a mere change of feeling, without any new evidence or new arguments. We do not nowadays refute our predecessors, we pleasantly bid them good-bye.
Bygones Quotes : pic 000577133

It's sad to see Time's toothless mouth laughing the poets to scorn. The stars are all explained and the mist is all measured, and there is no magic left in this dreary world.
Bygones Quotes : pic 000262450
Time after time have nations, ay, and rich and strong nations, learned in the arts, been, and passed away to be forgotten, so that no memory of them remains. This is but one of several; for Time eats up the works of man.
Bygones Quotes : pic 001451342
No more lost days.
Bygones Quotes : pic 000708290

Time slips away and leaves you with nothing, mister, but boring stories of glory days.
Bygones Quotes : pic 001226699
Epochs later, the curtains grew dusty and brittle, the deep, vicious colour of a bruise. The floorboards creaked and we were civilized. We were no longer the wild, ravening voices of the world, howling our shame and indignation at the sky.
Bygones Quotes : pic 000621808
Was coming to that troubled twilight time, a time of regrets that resemble hopes, of hopes that resemble regrets, when youth is past but old age has not yet come.
Bygones Quotes : pic 001398771

A fading land to which is no return.
